useSelectionObject

useSelectionObject hook. A hook returning current selections#

Usage#

Hooks are a new addition in React. They let you use state and other React features without writing a class. To learn more abou hook in react please read : https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html

The motivation for introducing hooks in React are:

It’s hard to reuse stateful logic between components
Complex components become hard to understand
Classes confuse both people and machines
Complex components become hard to understand

To solve these problems, Hooks let you use more of React’s features without classes.

We have tried to expose hooks used in the libary so that you can create your own visualisations if you wish.

import { useSelectionObject } from @motor-js/core
//...
const { qLayout, clearSelections } = useSelectionObject({ engine });

Once data has been retrived from the hypercube the user can then pass it on to an object to render its contents.

Props#

info

You do not need to set the Config prop if the component is a child of the Motor component

Prop	Description	Options / Example
`engine`	Configuration object to connect to the Qlik Engine, only set this if used outside of the Motor component.	`object` const {(engine, engineError)} = useEngine(config);

Sample Syntax#

useSelectionObject configuration#

import React from "react";
import { useEngine, useSelectionObject } from "@motor-js/core";

function SelectionObject({ engine }) {

 const { qLayout, clearSelections } = useSelectionObject({ engine });

  console.log("layout: ", qLayout);

  return <div></div>;
}

export default SelectionObject;
